Hi and thank you for making this game even more outstanding!
Russian Empire has been depicted in a lot of different historic strategies, with Cossacks and Sobors, but it's predecessor Russian Tsardom has not really been there. (Funny trivia: Russian Tsardom actually means Russian Empire, but to be acknowledged properly in Europe Peter I had to do a "rebranding"). My Idea is to add Rus to the game with it's flavor of following the trail of luxury goods deep into Siberia and selling them into Europe. Which prepared the foundation of formal inclusion of these territories into the Russian Empire later, which is logically followed by the industrial era Russians already in game.
